In my mind, more recent actors do Bond better than Sean Connery, but you still have to give credit where it's due: the man created the role. People in the future may play the role of Gandalf better than Ian McKellan, but that's not going to nullify the fact that Sir Ian made it a role to be taken seriously in the first place.
Now, I think that a lot of people in this topic are having trouble distinguishing the Bond actors from the Bond movies. I agree with sdtPikachu (surprise, surprise) that Timothy Dalton was a good Bond, but I really did not like his movies. Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough were, in my opinion, the best Bond movies (keep in mind that I have yet to see Man With the Golden Gun or Goldfinger), and I think that's why so many people like Pierce Brosnan. Well, he's also a good Bond, but not the greatest.
I actually don't like Roger Moore for some reason. His eyebrow-lifting sort of puts me off. Maybe he's faithful to the book character, but I never read the books.
